If shutdown is run from a gdm or kdm login screen, then you would need to use something like xmessage, gmessage, or Xdialog to ask the user about pending print jobs. But suppose X is misbehaving and the user accessed a console using Ctrl-Alt-F1. Then the script would have to get the user's input via the console. I don't have a X box handy, but it may be possible to test for the existence of the $DISPLAY environment variable and have the script use the appropriate tool to prompt the user and get input.
